Brownish phlegm
I am getting mucus in throat every morning. I am under PPI medication for acid reflux and also taking corticosteroid inhaler. Since past week i am getting thick brown phlegm which i feel is coming from throat after i wake up. There is no coughing. And the brown phlegm comes only first time i wake up and clear my throat. After that it is normal spit color. Is this a cause of concern?
